chromosome segregation? um, what?

  • C.S is a step in cell reproduction 
  • chromosomes pair off with their homologous chromosome
  • ensures that cells are duplicated without genome loss or damage
  • could only happen if chromosomes copy their genetic material
  • happens during mitosis or meiosis

new questions i have

  • what would happen without C.S.?
  • what is genome?
  • does chromosome structure affect C.S.?
  • how do chromosomes know which chromosome to pair with?

cell cycle

 mitosis - chromosome segregation - healthy new cell

my experience

i struggled but still learned a lot.
